Editorial Reviews

The Historian

Historiography has its fashions, and this is a clear and persuasive portrayal of a present trend away from the fraternization of history with philosophy, theology, literature and the history of the plastic arts, toward a flirtation with politics and the social sciences...A fine study.

From The Critics
A leading member of the French "Annales" school argues that history is no more accurate or subjective than the human memory it is necessarily based on. The study, having gone through several French and Italian editions since 1977, is a major statement of "new history," and how it differs from, and evolved from, earlier theories. Le Goff provides a new preface for the English edition, noting recent trends. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
